1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Acute infectious purpura fulminans (PF) is a rare but life-threatening condition characterized by rapidly progressive purpura, skin necrosis, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. We present a case of a 4-year-old male child who presented with a high-grade fever, maculopapular rash, encephalopathy, and gangrene of distal digits of hands and feet. The child had a tender right submandibular swelling and hepatomegaly. Laboratory findings included leukocytosis (26.48 × 10^9/L), thrombocytopenia (28,000/µL), an elevated C-reactive protein (296 mg/L), and coagulopathy (INR 1.84, D-dimer 540 ng/mL). Imaging revealed submandibular abscess and an extensive infiltrates in the right lower lobe of the lung. Blood culture and pus culture from neck swelling yielded methicillin-resistant
